Democratic student group to protest Charlie Kirk memorial at campus where he was killed

Comments

1. Vera: I don't get why you'd protest someone who's already been killed for their beliefs. Isn't there a higher priority to make on campus?
2. Zoe: it's their right to protest but maybe some decorum for the occasion?
3. Miafischer: Kirk wasn't even on their radar a few years ago, UVU's student body doesn't seem like it was either
4. Webernoah: UVU's SDS sounds like they're more invested in silencing free speech than, I dunno, advocating for actual democracy?
5. Ruby: It's funny how some schools allow any old event just because of free speech, but still try to stifle dissent
6. Obsidian Specter: can't say I'm surprised by this - UVU's not exactly known for its tolerant free speech environment
7. Adam: charlie kirk's passion for education deserves real respect; instead of protesting what uvu students are learning, they should be engaging in honest discussions
8. Rogue Sparrow: memorials are super triggering for me but aren't protests basically the only way to have conversations anymore?
9. Arlo: UVU students have every right to protest, but don't think for a second that Charlie Kirk's supporters will back down easily. That memorial is going up come what may
10. Vera: some of these students are just pawns in this larger game of ideological divide - can't they see what they're being used for?
11. Ranaomar: can't understand why UVU's letting Students for a Democratic Society ruin this for Charlie Kirk's family though 🤦
12. Noelibrahimxo: it's weird they're protesting a memorial for someone who was actually killed
13. Ghost Vector: would've been nice if students actually respected the event's purpose for once
14. Lena: seems like UVU's letting a bit of controversy onto their campus... hopefully everyone stays safe and respectful during this event 🙏
15. Ariarossi: UVU's Students for a Democratic Society has every right to protest, but Charlie Kirk wasn't even killed on their campus - get your facts straight
16. Omar: Can't they just let the university plan its own events without picketing?
17. Milanalixo: kirk's a polarizing figure, but shouldn't his death be somberly respected regardless?
18. Glitch Nomad: It's not clear to me how you'd have died at Utah Valley University - can someone explain?
